  1. With people going "rufus wasn't needed" - He was, in a sense, because "Murder your wife that Rittenhouse saved and Rufus never dies" doesn't sound as good as "Save Rufus" - and it lets them come to their own conclusion on how to save Rufus.
  2. Nah, that might just freak her out. Just tell her to contact the company
  3. Yeah, but if he had done that, that would've set a precedent, and definitely led to a second civil war. The DoD thing, yeah, he could've done that. I liked the Senator in this episode. Can we keep Henry's appearances to things like drinking with the President and Bess? Since that is organic and makes sense - they were friends before she was SoS and he was President
  4. I have been to two colleges. The community college I went to was the best with disability services. The state school I went to was so bad that i got one of their disability services departments shut down because the college did not want them to get within 2 hours of violating federal law again.
  5. Well she bribed the soldier to pick them up in his helicopter - presumably to kill them, along with himself, then his family would be provided for. Instead, Wyatt saved them, and they ended up dying in a massacre that they caused, until Agent Christopher appeared from the future. Whenever Jessica was a kid, Rittenhouse went to their family, offered them treatment for her brother's cancer (Presumably from the future) - and Jessica became a Rittenhouse agent. Wyatt figured it out while reading over the journal for presumably the umpteenth time, around the camp fire. I went to high school in 2008 and we didn't have enough time to get past WW2! Not even in an AP European History class or an AP US History Class!
  6. I really liked that episode. It was a great way to tie up this fun show with an amazing fanbase. Sure, they had to gloss over some things and slide past others, but given the time constraints, they did an admirable job.
  7. A lot of the online platforms that colleges use for online courses suck normally - I cannot imagine how dysfunctional they would with AT
  8. Yeah, that date was bugging me too, I didn't feel like looking it up at like 2 AM though :P Everyone was jumpy after 9/11 - I was 11 then and my dad worked in the city (and he worked right across from the port authority bus terminal), so that was a scary year
  9. I think the date of the tombstone was November 12, 2001 - wasn't that the day a plane leaving JFK crashed, killed like 300?
  10. Kenneth needed electrolytes, not endorphins.
  11. Or that the landlord didn't have one. Maybe he had them but took them after he sold the house?
  12. This episode was really good. I like the pairing of Poppy and Douglas, but please, please, do not put Angie and Will together, even though I can see how tempting it is for the writers. Let them have their own relationships at their own pace. Will just recently got back into the idea of dating - Angie seems like she has had some relationships that never got too far because of her worries with Graham. I like Owen.
  13. I liked this episode. I wonder if the DiMeo's will get to keep the gifts after agreeing to ham it up and act like mustache twirling villains?
  14. K-12, IDEA gives funds to districts for funding things like paras (paraprofessionals) and one-on-ones. I think they also mentioned in one episode that some organization might be helping pay for some of Kenneth? Once JJ gets that diploma, he is no longer covered by IDEA - he is covered under the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) - it only provides accommodations - an aide is not an accommodation - it is something the person has to pay for themselves. One thing a university can provide through disability services, but are not required to provide include a person to take notes for you. A lot of universities also have handicapped accessible dorms - well I think they are legally required to per ADA, but they don't have to have one for everyone, they probably just pick a name out of a hat. Per this site, a home care aid can cost as much as $30 an hour - https://www.care.com/c/stories/10239/cost-home-care-aide/ - realistically, JJ needs someone 24/7, but let's say he paid for someone for 16 hours a day - that is $480 a day at $30 an hour. Even if he spends the weekends at home and only needs the aide 5 days a week, that is $2400 per week. At least here in NJ, a para runs around $30,000 a year full time starting out, which is a steal for the parents getting 1:1s for their kids for the 7-8 hours a day they are in school for ~180 day a year
  15. Yeah, she probably should have called Conrad right away. Then if they wanted Henry to do something, he could spend the next day filling out a pile of paperwork :P Google Ambien Walrus for a fun take on the side effects Ambien can cause :P
  16. They used a magical virus to make the monitors explode. I mean Henry and Bess would've had to have reported it - since the Secretary of Defense could've been kidnapped - or said any number of classified things while under the influence of the sleeping pill. It was a potential breach. He was probably obligated to report it as a member of the executive branch. Bess probably went to him because she was at the WH for a meeting, they bumped into each other, he probably asked how everyone was doing, she mentioned the cough, and he just gave her a z-pack or whatever he gave Allison. It's a ripped from the headlines story - it's what former physician to the president Ronny Jackson did
  17. That is what I was thinking! Yeah, but a hot plate with JJ's disabilities is just asking for a trip to the burn ward. I bet they could get a Keurig for pretty cheap used - and there are those generic dollar store Keurig Cups. Then there is the problem of getting the cup into the Keurig - but probably easier than getting the coffee out of the can, into the machine, getting water in the pot, getting it into the machine, and so on. JJ is going to need an aide no matter what - at the very least for toileting. He could record lectures - or disability services could hire a note taker for him - or both. Since he'll be 18, there will be programs that can help pay for an aide, nowhere near the amount he needs, but since it is a sitcom, Maya will manage to twist someones arm to get him the funding he needs, and Kenneth will end up being a basketball coach wherever JJ goes to college.
  18. Yeah, but they can have an episode every once in a while without the kids. Probably some labor laws that made it so they didn't want to have the kids in this episode.
  19. To be fair, Mother Teresa was not exactly perfect, but that is not a discussion for here. The only explanation is that Mindy St. Claire's charity was going to be something that impacted every life in earth positively (or most lives).
  20. That episode was so good. Looks like it comes back January 10th, so we don't have that long to wait, at least it isn't as long as Season 1's mid season finale - that was torture. D'Arcy Carden needs an Emmy. Ted Danson needs an Emmy. and An Emmy For Megan.
  21. Yeah, jeez. They suspected I had a DVT in 2015 and they had to do a whole bunch of tests first. I ended up not having a DVT, luckily. I think Lim is a Trauma Surgeon? So if she is double certified in emergency medicine, that at least relates a bit. But didn't she do plastic surgery in a few episodes?
  22. I hate lights that buzz. We had a lamp in our dining room that was very loud, it recently stopped working - my mom, brother, and I were very happy - my dad's hearing has never been the best (He was an audio visual tech for years, did some loooooud shows in the 80s), now the "loud lamp" is gone. Shaun could've also just turned off the lights.
  23. I dunno, probably somewhere in the first season. I was making the comment because I do not like pickles at all and I have mild autism, it's a weird sensory thing. That too. You think they'd have a team of people with whatever certification they said Melendez didn't have ready to go into a quarantine. Even if it is just random doctors at the hospital of varying disciplines. Imagine the fun jokes they would make if the only person who was in the hospital when the quarantine happened was a Podiatrist.
  24. Well the sandwich thing is simple - the sandwich had pickles on it! I was expecting them to end it with Shaun just smashing the light with a chair, or yelling about how the light should be turned off. Shaun has been in stressful situatiosn before, and it is a hospital, every light will not be new and there are many buzzing old lights, he probably would've had this sensory overload already. And, well, they said that they had all of their virologists in Malaysia, and the rest were stuck on the East Coast. I imagine the CDC would have a rapid response team in or near the major metropoles - or, at least, NYC, Atlanta, Chicago, Somewhere in Texas.
